Thank you thank you everyone. Spending my time doing other work so I can pay bills sometimes takes me away from spending 24/7 on the Blue Lollipop Road which is what I’m really meant to do. I promise even when get busy, I’ll continually do my best at babbling thoughts and things for you to read. I hope to always entertain, make you think or help create a fun moment or two in your day when you visit here.

Every single reader, follower and comment means so much to me. Thanks for coming along for the ride!

The pass is only $80 and gives the proud owner unlimited access for a year to all the spots that are must sees around the country. Better yet a good excuse to hop in the car and go explore what most usually only see in pictures. Heck- maybe the person you buy it for will ask you to tag along for some road trippin’ fun! (If you’re not available when they do ask, just let me know. My bags and camera are already packed and I’d be happy to go as your stand-in.)

This bearded gent has an outstanding little coffee shop called Studio 6 Coffee House in Denver, CO. Watching the video on his website makes me want to brave the cold winters and move to the Mile High City, just so I can become a regular and hang out at this shop. This java joint gets it. They have a successful business they’re passionate about and they support their community wholly. Coffee shops and places like this do so much more than serve eats and froofy drinks. They help create community. They offer a comfortable place for anyone to go. They’re like home away from home. Lets not even talk about the fact this guy can make your face in the foam of a latte! Now there’s some goodness.

They apologized for “being in the way” and tried to move when I was taking some pictures the other day. I told them, you are the picture if you don’t mind of course! They happily participated and we chatted for a bit.

It’s always a treat to talk to some impeccably wrinkled folks who’ve been around for a while and have good stories. If you click on the picture you can see that Lawrence’s hat says- Life is simple; eat, sleep, fish. How perfect.

Hope you enjoyed the rest of your day Lawrence and Herbert. So nice to meet you.

(Readers,

You’ll see an anonymous comment below just sent to me. I only think it’s fair to publish all comments, not just the happy dappy frappy stuff, as being real and truthful is what I want Blue Lollipop Road to be. Saying that, this commenter happened to be “disturbed” that this photo showed:

1.) A guy on oxygen and still smoking. 

2.) That a WII tournament was happening Monday at 6pm. 

Dear Anonymous, 

Thank you for commenting, I love commenters and am happy to receive the good and the bad anytime!

As for #1 disturbance to you, I completely agree, but also think it’s an eye-opening view of how people are so different from each other in the decisions they make. #2? Really? I am not a big WII gal myself, but I say play on WII-ers! Rock it out!)

Thanks again Anonymous, keep them coming!
